Coronation Street fans 'rumble what Carla's hiding' after laptop clue

A Coronation Street spoiler has sent Carla Connor fans into a frenzy amid her supporting partner Lisa Swain through her turmoil.

A scene involving her colleague Michael Bailey at the factory next week has sparked suspicions she could be hiding something. There is nothing indicating what the potential secret is, and it could be nothing.

But given the randomness of the spoiler there's bound to be some significance. Carla is doing something on her laptop at work, and leaves something on the screen.

It's not clear if it's something she doesn't want others to see, but whatever it is "intrigues" Michael. There's little context given, meaning we don't know the exact ins and outs, but judging by the spoiler lines it would suggest Carla is not there at the time.

Michael appears to go into her office to borrow the device, while whether Carla knows this or not is yet to be made clear. We also do not know what Michael does next and whether he asks Carla about it, or how she will react.

Is there a fallout to the mystery scene, and are we about to find something out about Carla, or something she is doing in secret? The line reads: "Michael borrows Carla’s laptop at work and is intrigued by what he sees on her screen."

We can give nothing away for now, but what we can say is that when Michael spots the mystery thing on the screen it gets his attention. No further spoilers shed light on what comes next, but fans can expect whatever it is to be addressed and explained.

So stay tuned, because next week all will very likely become clear. Some fans think they have already figured it out though, and that they know what is on Carla's laptop.

Multiple theories have been shared ever since the spoiler dropped, with various interpretations of what it could mean. The fact it was off the back of a spoiler where Carla is encouraging Lisa to stick with attending therapy has left some fans wondering if the spoilers are linked.

Whether that be linked to Lisa's past or their future, with the house plans and a hoped-for proposal, the possibilities are endless. Taking to social media, one fan suggested Carla may be digging into whatever happened to Lisa's ex-wife Becky who died in the line of duty, amid suspicions she was corrupt.

With Lisa forced to face her past and recent hints to what went on years earlier, fans have been speculating there's more to what happened to Becky than we know. So now a new theory suggests what Michael sees is something Lisa has done on the laptop, not Carla.

It read: "Unless Lisa has borrowed her laptop somehow, we also remember she has loads of files at home in the bedroom. More likely if they're not in a lock-up." Another theory said: "It might be what others have suggested and she's left a PI Google search page open that would raise questions even if it is Michael."

As for other ideas, another fan said: "Maybe she's got some files or research on there," while a further questioned: "Maybe it's about someone buying the Rovers or something."
